with a special reveal the day before...
"And he totally thought he was safe on the benches"
I'll start by linking my pre-trip report Go Big or Stay Home. This should give you a better sense of our cast of members but to make a brief intro we are family of 4 with DH36, DW (me)32, DD6 and DS6 (twins are almost 7). This trip was planned because I was getting the itch to go back and kids were begging. We kept this one a surprise. Since last December I have been planning and researching and as my kids say "click click click, scroll scroll scroll". I will start off this TR with our reveal day.
I had put together a set of scavenger hunt clues that started at the house and brought us all the way to our hotel near the airport. I kept the clues unrelated to Disney as I knew they'd figure it out if I did.
We started our scavenger hunt after dropping our furball Ghost (2 year old samoyed) off at "doggy camp". The intro went like this:
Mommy and Daddy love you so much. We want to do one last fun day before you go back to school. Today you are going on a scavenger hunt! You will read clues that will lead to a big prize. It may take a couple of hours or a couple days to get to your prize but lets see where this takes us and have some fun. You must work together, taking turns reading the clues. You must find the next clue together. If you have trouble solving the clue there is a number key that will tell you the answer. Are you ready?
1.Follow the clues to find a prize for you. The first one is easy, it’s in your shoe!
2. This one is easy too, just take a look. Your next clue is where you can find a book.
